Setting Description

NIC Selection Configures the current mode out of the four possible modes:

• Dedicated

NOTE: This option is only available on iDRAC6 Enterprise cards.

• Shared (LOM1)

• Shared with Failover LOM2

• Shared with Failover All LOMs

NOTE: This option may not be available on iDRAC6 Enterprise.

NOTE: iDRAC6 will not communicate locally through the same physical

port if NIC Selection is set to either Shared or Shared with Failover

modes. This is because a network switch will not send out packets

through the same port it received the packets.

MAC Address Displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely

identifies each node in a network.

Enable NIC When checked, indicates that the NIC is enabled and activates the

remaining controls in this group. When a NIC is disabled, all

communication to and from the iDRAC6 via the network is blocked.

The default is On.
